Construction Updates as of Feb 9th

Hello to all! This last week we have made quite a bit of progress with our office renovation projects. We have been so grateful to have volunteers, both new and old, helping with all of the sanding, sawing, lifting, and hammering that will turn our office into the safe, sustainable space we know it can be. We are also very please to introduce our new Americorps National Volunteer Engagement Coordinator Aliza Mendelowitz who has started with us this week. As we reach the close of this week, we are excited to see the Dalton project moving along. We will be doing demolition in the sunshine before we know it!

Introducing Aliza Mendelowitz

Our newest Americorps National volunteer is Aliza. She will be serving as our Volunteer Engagement Coordinator and you will often see her around the community, in the ReStore, and on the build site every Friday and Saturday. After graduating from Goucher college in 2016 with a Bachelors degree in Environmental Studies, she joined Americorps NCCC. For one year Aliza served as an NCCC team leader in the North Central region where her favorite projects included serving with a Habitat affiliate in Nebraska and helping with disaster relief in Florida after Hurricane Irma. In her free time, Aliza enjoys traveling, skiing, and playing the double bass. If/when you see her on site be sure to say hi!
